"Waiting for Superman"

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFN0nf6Hqk0

Anyone seen this movie/read the book? Any thoughts? School being underfunded are old news, but are we finally up against a wall?

There 2,424,279 total prisoners and 4 453 000 teacher in America. Including people on parole/probation, there are 4 200 000 law breakers as of 2006-2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States

Are the laws wrong? Basically, any society that has more prisoners than teachers is pretty bad, and the US is heading that way fast.
